Documentation for listing shared network printers.

[jonfen]

Listing the shared files is cut and dry, but how do you list the shared printer names of a given computer?

Also asked here:
althonos/fs.smbfs#5

This is not something you can do with Pyfilesystem, you only have abstraction over filesystems, so naturally this is not something you can do with fs.smbfs either.

There's a reason this project is called PyFileSystem and not PyPrintSystem 😆

I was hopeful since it listed out:

• ADMIN$
• C$
• PRINT

But PRINT didn't have everything I needed. I am looking for an MIT license package that provides a list of printers, similar to this GPL package that can list files AND printers:

hamano/pysmbc#38

Maybe https://pypi.org/search/?q=samba will prove useful? 🤷‍♂️

That and other keywords are how I found fs.smbfs, I will keep going down the list.
